Wow! I love this awesome project, Be Here Now, by john clang. As more and more of us are choosing to be 'Urban Nomads' for work or in my husband's case love we often find ourselves hopping on Skype talking to our loved ones one the other side of the world. When I was travelling around the world to produce my book, RETHINK - The Way You Live, coming out November 2012, Skype was my lifeline at the end of each day where it was possible to speak and most importantly see my husband. A crucial moment when I was in Antwerp and I injured myself and felt alone.

Singapore-born and New York-based photographer developed the collection of images by photographing several groups of relatives originally from Singapore with all members of the family unit included in one shot.

'new york (and singapore): john clang, the photographer for this project; his parents, ang ching seong and NG gek choo;
his brother, joe ang; and, in the chat window on the laptop at the bottom of the photo, john-s wife, elin tew'

'seattle (and singapore): lee siew tim and chua chim sim, her son'

One of the hardest things in the world I think when you live away from your family is not seeing them but "The Jetsons" futuristic telephone helps a little when loved ones are so far away. This is a wonderful way to capture
complete families in a photo even when geographically challenged. My husband's parents live in France and his brother & sisters live
in the UK. This has so inspired me to capture us in a Clang inspired
photo.

About Me

I'm an interiors addict and I'm currently a judge on Top Design Australia. I have been involved with quite a few loved interior magazines across the globe. I was Associate Editor @ British ELLE Decoration and Homes Editor @ Livingetc. I have consulted for StudioIlse, WGSN and IKEA. What really interests me is how we all live in the space we call home. As much as I want to know about the latest chair, must-have-accessory and hottest trends - the thing that gets me really excited is how we use our everyday objects. This blog is a chance to explore, laugh and relate to different people and families from across the globe who all have one thing in common. They love their home. Enjoy
love Amanda Talbotxxx
